March 31, 2017 By Milen Gala

Happy Friday everyone!! I don’t know about where you are but we’ve had some seriously confused weather here in Seattle lately. Pouring rain and 42 one day and super sunny and 68 the other. I’m so ready for spring!

More and more I feel like staying out during the beautiful days rather then spending a ton of time in the kitchen. When I get home I just don’t have the creative energy to come up with my own recipes for dinner, so those times call for some seriously good food blogs to take center stage.

8 Life Hacks for a Balanced Life and a Better Year

February 13, 2017 By Milen Gala

1. Make small weekly changes to eat healthier

When people tell me it’s to hard to eat healthy or to change their diet I usually tell them one thing. It took me 5 years to get to eating the way I do now… And the one tip I give them: make one small change by adding in something healthy rather than by trying to take anything out. For me the first thing I started doing was just changing my breakfast. From toast and bagels to a green smoothie daily. Once I had my green smoothie I just continued on with my day as I had always done. A month later I started feeling so much better just by making that one small change that I wanted to keep going… If there’s one thing I would tell you it’s try and eat the same healthy thing for breakfast every day, wether it’s a green smoothie, a cup of oatmeal and berries or whatever you fancy. A month later add something else in and just keep on going… I promise not only will you feel a lot better but your taste buds will change dramatically to the point of not even wanting to touch that french fry on your dinner plate.  …
